and enter it manually after the upgrade.

This section describes the procedures for upgrading the S8300A Media Server from a pre-2.2
release of Communication manager to release 2.2.
Upgrading an S8300 to release 2.2 requires removing the S8300A and replacing it with an
S8300B. The new S8300B should have the remastering program (RP) software installed on its
hard drive. The remastering program remasters the hard drive and installs the R 2.2
Communications Manager software. These procedures are described in this section.
This section covers:
Installing the pre-upgrade software update (patch), if necessary
Linux migration backup (if current release is 1.x)
